Waterline from Ghosts by visiting aliens

The Waterline

A-ah we’re livin’ on the waterli-ine!
A-a-and the water’s getting in..

Think I’ll go down to the river
Go take a look at the waterline
Where the earth was brown the tide has risen
Up through a hole where the sky’s burned down
A-ah we’re livin’ on the waterline!
A-a-and the water’s getting in!

We’ve lived our lives on this river
Yes, you and I on this cutting edge
Now we’re praying for our God to deliver
Our homes from the water getting in..
We’ve lived here all our lives on the waterline
Here all our lives on the borderline
Here on the cutting edge of the times
Now the water.. the water’s getting in

A-ah we’re livin’ on the waterline
A-a-and the water’s getting in

Think I’ll go down to the river
Go take a look at this cutting edge
As the waves turn around, the tide is getting bigger
From the seawalls of Holland to the shores of Bangladesh.

All the Waterlines
..... All the Borderlines
Here on the cutting edge of the times
We’ve lived here all our lives on the waterline
Here all our lives on the borderline
Here on the cutting edge of the times

Now the water.. the water’s getting’ in.....
The water!

A-ah we’re livin’ on the waterline
A-a-and the water’s getting in
I said a-ah we’re livin’ on the waterline
As all the sand bag men work their hearts out working on overtime
On the waterline.
On the waterline
From the seawalls of Holland to the shores of Bangladesh...
Too much water
Too much water gettin in
Too much water
Too much water gettin in
